Benefits of technology

This approach allows for low-power, high-efficiency light emission with reduced material costs and increased resolution, as the light-emitting device can extract predetermined light from each subpixel with lower power consumption while maintaining high productivity and eliminating the need for separate EL layer coating.

Problems solved by technology

However, the tandem light-emitting element thus has a large number of stacked layers and therefore the number of manufacturing steps is increased.
Accordingly, manufacturing the tandem light-emitting element in which a plurality of EL layers are stacked is costly not only because it takes much time to manufacture the light-emitting element but also because the manufacturing yield decreases.

embodiment 1

[0070]In this embodiment, a structure of a light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B.

[0071]FIG. 1A illustrates an EL element including an EL layer 122 between a cathode 123, and an anode 121a or an anode 121b. Although the number of EL layers is one in this embodiment, a tandem structure in which two or more EL layers are stacked and an intermediate layer is provided between the two EL layers may be employed. The anode 121a is formed over a substrate 100 in a first region, and the anode 121b is formed over the substrate 100 in a second region. Next, the EL layer 122 is formed over the anode 121a and the anode 121b, and the cathode 123 is formed over the EL layer 122. That is, in the light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention, each EL layer is in contact with one of two or more kinds of anodes.

[0072]FIG. 1B illustrates a structure of the light-emitting element of one embodiment of the p...

embodiment 2

[0123]In this embodiment, a light emission mechanism of a light-emitting element that can be used for a light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting device of one embodiment of the present invention, or a display device of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3, FIGS. 4A and 4B, and FIG. 5.

[0124]FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting element 450.

[0125]In the light-emitting element 450 in FIG. 3, an EL layer 400 is interposed between a pair of electrodes (a first electrode 401 and a second electrode 402). Note that in the light-emitting element 450, the first electrode 401 functions as an anode, and the second electrode 402 functions as a cathode.

[0126]The EL layer 400 includes a first light-emitting layer 413 and a second light-emitting layer 414. In the light-emitting element 450, as the EL layer 400, a hole-injection layer 411, a hole-transport layer 412, an electron-transpor...

embodiment 3

[0194]In this embodiment, a light-emitting device including the light-emitting element described in Embodiment 1 or 2 will be described.

[0195]The light-emitting device may be either a passive matrix type light-emitting device or an active matrix type light-emitting device. The light-emitting element described in the other embodiments can be applied to the light-emitting device described in this embodiment.

[0196]In this embodiment, an active matrix type light-emitting device is described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

[0197]FIG. 2A is a top view illustrating a light-emitting device and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the chain line A-A′ in FIG. 2A. The active matrix type light-emitting device according to this embodiment includes a pixel portion 502 provided over an element substrate 501, a driver circuit portion (a source line driver circuit) 503, and driver circuit portions (gate line driver circuits) 504a and 504b. The pixel portion 502, the driver circuit portion...

Abstract

A light-emitting device in which different electrodes in a work function are used in a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element are provided. A light-emitting device includes a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element. The first light-emitting element includes a first electrode, an EL layer, and a second electrode in this order. The second light-emitting element includes a third electrode, the EL layer, and the second electrode in this order. The EL layer includes a first light-emitting layer, a layer, and a second light-emitting layer in this order. The structure of the first light-emitting layer is different from the structure of the second light-emitting layer. The first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element are different in a carrier-injection property.
